Background and approach
Motivational interviewing helps people find the motivation to try new strategies. Solution-focused techniques are used to set short-term goals and track small wins. Her background includes five years of clinical work in Florida as a licensed mental health counselor.
That experience includes supporting people with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and intimacy-related issues. She also works with concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, and the impact of prejudice and discrimination. Brianna creates an accepting space where parents can be honest about their struggles.
She emphasizes progress over perfection and will suggest practical skills to try between sessions. She also discusses other resources if a different fit would be better. Sessions are offered in English and available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Cost varies with location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for parents
Brianna draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help parents spot thought patterns that increase stress and then test new, more helpful ways of thinking. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday parenting worries because it links thoughts, feelings, and actions in clear steps.She also uses solution-focused therapy to set short, practical goals and notice small changes quickly. This approach is goal oriented and works well when a parent wants specific strategies for a problem. Motivational interviewing is used to build motivation for change and to help people commit to steps that fit their life and values.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will talk with clients about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods together in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging which make it easier to fit therapy into parenting schedules. Video calls are close to in-person sessions, phone sessions use less bandwidth, live chat can be a quick check-in, and messaging helps track progress between meetings. These options aim to give flexible access and consistent support for parents juggling many responsibilities.
